dear banana:

oh banana,
such an interesting fruit. you are not juicy like the rest of your family, but when i blend you up in a smoothie, i can drink you up like i could not any other fruit. and oh what texture you give to this smoothie of mine!
Also, you are designed incredibly intelligently. i believe you are the only fruit that peels so easily and oh so deliberately, always in the same straight formation. the only fruit that could compare is some citrus, but still they are sometimes difficult to peel and go in all directions, and so i must retract the above statement because ultimately there is no comparison.
and so versatile! i can eat you in a sandwich, in my cereal or yogurt, dipped in chocolate, in banana bread or pudding, in a smoothie of course, or just by yourself. Of course there are so many more ways i can devour you and so much more praise i could share, but i shall stop there, to save you from the possibility of getting a big ego.

i marvel at your grandness, but can only do so from a distance.
if i were a fruit or you were a being, things might be different.

yours truly.
